Birds, Birds, Birds...

In about an hour yesterday I saw many different birds. Here are a few that I captured in our front yard.

Woodpecker-Red Bellied

Blue Jays

Mourning Doves

Song Sparrows

Nuthatch

Male Cardinal in the middle of Song Sparrows, click to see them.

Brown-headed Cow birds with Song Sparrows

Red Winged Black Bird.

Birds seen but not captured were House Wren, Pine Warbler, Crow, Hawk,Tufted Titmouse and

Goldfinch. It was a very busy day at the feeders.

Today our weather is very unstable. Thunderstorms, Tornado Watches and Warnings and Flash Flood Warnings...........all around us. It is rumbling and bumbling out there with a great lightning show! Temperature 61 F.

What a big variety of birds. I think you should do the backyard bird count next month, you'd have a lot to count.Hope the weather isn't too bad, I saw on the news this morning about the storms heading to Florida.

Those are all wonderful bird pictures Darla! I've had a lot of those same birds at my feeders too. No kidding about the weather! I barely got back in the car from dropping my grandson off at school and the bottom dropped out. Then I had to go to the doctor all the way across town. Once I got out of there, I ended up having to go way out of my way just to get to work because of all the flooding! I hope this lets up by tonight.

Hi Darla! As a follow up to the comment you left me regarding the Medical post.... Yes, I do that cough thing exactly as you described when my heart either races or beats irregularly and it does work for me at least. It works a bit better for stopping the irregular beat than it does the racing. Sometimes I have to do it a few times, but thankfully so far it has worked. I'm sure that by doing that in combination with the meds that your doctor gave you will help tremendously. Also, I notice that if I worry about my heart racing it does it even more from the stress so I try to tell myself that everything is going to be OK in an effort to get myself to calm down... of course that's easier said that done when your in the midst of experiencing a racing heart. Many hugs to you!

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Your right, I could have missed the chairs but my neighbor stayed by them for me. If he had not been there I would have gone in the pj's.Where is Flowerville Florida? I'm in Orlando

HiYou have such a nice variety of birds in your yard!No, I haven't found out anything about my old document..it is really difficult to find someone who can decipher it. I tried an auto translation and am getting a few words (Polish).

I just love those woodpeckers. I've seen more this year than any. Birds are winters flowers in my mind. We too are having unstable weather. I need to shut this computer down and hope the power doesn't go out:)

you always get the best photos!have a wonderful weekend...oh...and don't forget to stop by this week...starting right now to enter and learn about the great give away that is being held on my blog this week! I know you will love the prize

I would have loved to have been there Darla... I have little luck in my garden as there's far to many cats about to put up feeders... I still manade to see the odd one of two.. but if I want good bird pictures I would drive out to a local bird feeding station a few of us have set up on the edge of the moors...
